Mike and I are going to have a reproduction run made of the RD Bumper Filler piece circled below. As many of you know, this piece is unobtanium, with the last set of reproductions done over 10 years ago. In order to make this run, we will require a minimum of 10 pre-paid purchases.
If you are interested, please PM me, and I will provide all details.
Here is a picture of the filler piece on George Whiteley's CSi that I placed on the car when I owned it. It is circled below. We will call it the RMBumper Filler. It is secured with 2 screws from behind, and can be placed with the bumper in place. It will not have the opening for the tow hook, and will look just like the piece below. It may be used in both regular and CSi front bumper configurations. It will require priming and painting.

I might be interested. Is this something that would be ready this year?
It will probably be done in early 2019.

What material is it planned to produce?
RD Bumper Filler Reproduction - its a GO
Mike and I have worked with a manufacture to do a LIMITED PRODUCTION RUN of the RD Bumper Filler Reproduction. The last time this piece was made was over 10 years ago, and they are virtually non-existent. It turns out that due to the complex curves and nature of the boxed section with non-drawing surfaces, the fully boxed piece will have to be formed out of 2 sections, then joined and finished, and the manufacturing process is more complex than Mike and I thought. The finish will be of Automotive Grade primer, with stainless steel mounting hardware.
If you wish to get in on this limited production run, this will be a pre-paid purchase, with an estimated completion date of March - April 2019. Mike and I are not going to get rich doing this. We just wanted to make the piece available to those who have expressed a wish to have one.
Price for each item, which includes shipping within the continental United States, is $295 each.
If you wish to be included in this limited production run, then here are the steps:
1. Send an email to: rdbumperfiller(at)gmail.com
2. Include the following: Full Name, shipping address, number of units wanted
3. Send $295 for each piece and make sure to say that the money is being sent as a gift. Send the funds via Paypal. The Paypal account to send the money to is: rdw95(at)juno.com
If you would rather pay by check or have any questions, please send a request to: rdbumperfiller(at)gmail.com for address information.
Cutoff date for orders will be February 8, 2019.
Thanks,
Mike and Roger

Have you guys thought of reproducing 51112252017 the license plate holder for the m technic front bumper? Quite pricey!
Anyone still selling this RD Bumper Filler? I'm in desperate need of this piece. Please help! Thanks!
I'd be interested in this item (standard material) if your still offering!
